Yi Wang fbe4a7e881 KVM: Setup empty IRQ routing when creating a VM
Setup empty IRQ routing during VM creation so that x86 and s390 don't need
to set empty/dummy IRQ routing during KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP (in future
patches).  Initializing IRQ routing before there are any potential readers
allows KVM to avoid the synchronize_srcu() in kvm_set_irq_routing(), which
can introduces 20+ milliseconds of latency in the VM creation path.

Ensuring that all VMs have non-NULL IRQ routing also hardens KVM against
misbehaving userspace VMMs, e.g. RISC-V dynamically instantiates its
interrupt controller, but doesn't override kvm_arch_intc_initialized() or
kvm_arch_irqfd_allowed(), and so can likely reach kvm_irq_map_gsi()
without fully initialized IRQ routing.
